Ch. 1211..1220

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1211-I Can't Die Jenny's words struck deep, and Faye's face instantly turned pale. She bit her lip, still unwilling to admit defeat. "My brother will explain everything, and I believe Alec won't hold it against us."

"Is that so?" Jenny raised an eyebrow. "If you're so confident, then why did you come to see me today?"

"Well, I came to the hospital for a checkup. What else would I be here for?"

Faye shot her a resentful look, which cracked Jenny up. Then, Faye took out her medical record and handed it to Jenny. "You performed my surgery, and I still trust your medical skills, Dr. Walter. So I hope you will take care of my follow-up treatment."

Jenny glanced through the medical record and said calmly, "Your condition seems stable, with no major issues. What do you need me to take care of?"

"With my condition, I'll need frequent checkups in the future. Since you're working at this hospital, I'll come directly to you if anything happens," Faye said with a smile.

Jenny put down the medical record and didn't refuse her. "Sure, no problem. As a doctor, I will treat every patient seriously."

"Dr. Walter, you really do separate your personal and professional matters clearly," Faye said, slightly mocking her.

Not intending to waste more time with her, Jenny asked, "Is there anything else?

If not, you can leave. There are still many patients waiting."

"Jenny, aren't you worried about my return?" Faye couldn't contain herself.

Jenny glanced at her and sneered. "Where did you get the idea that I'd be worried?"

"Why wouldn't you? In the past, my family was inferior to yours, so I couldn't compete with you. But now, it's different. I am Miss Wardley, and my status is not inferior to yours," Faye felt that she could contend with Jenny.

Speechless, she shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "Since you're so confident, go ahead and give it a try."

If Alec chose Faye, Jenny would just consider it a mistake on her part.

"Don't worry. I will try. I hope you won't end up crying miserably," Faye snorted coldly and then stood up to leave.

Jenny watched her leave and decided to forget about her. She believed Alec could handle it, so she didn't plan to waste her energy on it. She still had to keep an eye on Eric. She didn't think he would give up so easily. He might already be planning his next move.

Jenny wasn't wrong. Eric was indeed planning his next move, but this time, he didn't need many people. To be precise, he only needed himself.

Inside the room, Eric had not fully recovered yet, and Pete was standing by his bedside. "Father, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I can't die," Eric said, leaning against the headboard with some effort, looking at Pete. After a moment, he regained his composure and finally spoke, ’Do you know why I called you here?"

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1212-Have You Decided?

Pete shook his head. He really didn't know, but he felt uneasy inside, sensing it might not be good.

But the reality turned out to be different from what he had expected. Eric sighed and continued, "I will visit the Walters again, but this time, there's a good chance I won’t return. So, before I go, I need to explain a few things to you.” Pete was stunned.

Eric ignored his reaction and continued, 'Although I still have some doubts about your abilities, the Dafoe family will eventually be handed over to you. So, I plan to explain some family matters to you in these two days. I know you have been dissatisfied with me all these years, and I don't expect you to understand me.

But if I really cant come back, you must hold up the Dafoe family for me."

Even if he died, Eric didn't want the Dafoe family to end just like that.

Meanwhile, Pete was still confused, finding it hard to believe what he was hearing.

"To be honest with you, I have a few other children outside. But don't worry, they won't affect your position. If I don't make it back, give them some money and let them live out their lives. Don't be too ruthless. After all, they are still your siblings," Eric continued.

That afternoon, he revealed many things-his secrets, the Dafoe family's secrets.

When Pete came out of Eric's room, he still couldn't fully comprehend what had happened.

Did he just entrust all the secrets to him? What was the meaning of this? Could he have known about his alliance with Jenny and deliberately told him these things?

However, it didn't seem like he was lying. Pete was at a loss and didn't know if he should continue cooperating with Jenny. He was well aware that if Eric visited the Walters again, he would not be able to make it back. Perhaps the next time he saw him would be at the police station.

He hesitated.

But in the end, he made up his mind. After all these years, it was the first time he was deciding for himself. Since he had started, there was no reason to stop now. So, he called Jenny and informed her that Eric hadn't given up. He also mentioned the matter of Eric entrusting the Dafoe family to him.

After listening, Jenny somewhat understood Pete's hesitation. "Hey, you can still back out. After all, he doesn't know about the things you've done. As long as you don't say anything, you're still a dutiful son in his eyes."

Although it would be more difficult to secure a conviction without Pete’s testimony, it wasn't entirely impossible. Eric had killed many people, so finding evidence wouldn't be difficult.

"Since we've already started, there’s no reason for me to regret it," Pete said.

Jenny smiled. "Have you decided?"

"Yeah, let's proceed according to plan."

After hanging up the phone, Pete looked at Eric's room and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotions.

If Eric hadn't called him to Bardoff City, he wouldn't have been able to know his plan, which would give Eric a chance for success. However, he specifically called him from Bayside City to come here and revealed his plan to him. If it were leaked to Jenny, Eric's plan would fail.

Pete looked up at the sky.

"Mom, I'm finally going to avenge you. Eric will soon come to accompany you, and you will be happy then."

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1213-It's me who doesn't want to meet you The upcoming week was not peaceful for Jenny at all. On the one hand, she was preparing for Eric's visit to Walter Castle. On the other hand, Faye kept visiting her at the hospital every few days.

Jenny was annoyed. Wasn't Faye supposed to win Alec over? Why was she coming to her instead? Could it be that she was hoping Jenny would give up voluntarily? How naive of her.

Of course, that wasn't what Faye had in mind. She came to find Jenny not because she wasn't going to find Alec, but because Alec refused to see her. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, so how could she try to win him over?

Therefore, she could only choose the next best thing, which was to appear by Jenny’s side. She knew that Alec came to pick up Jenny from work every day, and she could take the opportunity to see him.

"Dr. Walter," Faye called as she entered the room. She was surprised to find Alec in the consultation room and broke into a smile.

"Alec, there you are." Faye greeted him with a smile.

Alec glanced at her indifferently and asked, "Did you pester her every day just to see me, as Jenny said?"

Faye felt embarrassed. Although that was indeed the case, Jenny shouldn't have put it so bluntly.

Her silence displeased Jenny. "Since you're so eager to see Alec, I invited him here today. If you have anything to say, say it quickly, as you might not have another opportunity." She was truly tired of Faye coming to find her every day.

Strangers might even think they had a good relationship.

Shocked, Faye's jaw dropped, and it took her a while to close her mouth. She didn't expect Jenny to be so straightforward.

"Dr. Walter, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to be friends with you…" Faye said sadly, trying to garner Alec's sympathy. Unfortunately, it had no effect at all.

Alec glanced at her and said, "Jenny doesn't want to be friends with you. Since you're not looking for me, don't appear in the hospital again.’ "Alec, Jenny is my doctor." Faye was unhappy.

Meanwhile, Alec was on the verge of losing his temper.

Jenny held his hand and shook her head at Faye. Then she looked at Faye and said, "I'm fine with being your doctor, but being friends is out of the question. I don't think we can be friends. Faye, you and I both know what your intentions are. Instead of denying it here, you should take the opportunity to say what you want to say to Alec. You don't know when you'll have the chance to see him again."

Jenny genuinely meant it. She specifically invited Alec to come over so that the two of them could resolve the matter, and she wouldn't have to be bothered by Faye every day.

Faye’s face finally fell as she failed to keep the act. Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly nodded and admitted, "Yes, I came to find you because I wanted to see Alec. It's all your fault that Alec doesn't even want to see me. Can you say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Jenny was speechless. What did it have to do with her? She never said that Alec and Faye couldn't meet.

Before she could speak, Alec said, "It has nothing to do with her. It's me who doesn't want to meet you."

"Why?" Faye asked immediately, unable to accept it.

"Why?" Alec laughed. "Why should I see you? Are we close?"

"Alec-" "I've told you not to call me that. We're not close with each other," Alec cut her off, annoyed.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1214-Taking Him for Granted Time seemed to have stopped at that moment, but fortunately, Faye's heart was strong enough to take the blow, so she wasn't too affected by it. She tried to calm herself down and forced a smile while saying, "Alec, I know you only treat me as your little sister, but it doesn't matter. In my heart, you've always been my brother. Although we had some unpleasantness before, and I hurt Dr. Walter because of my immaturity, I have changed now and won't do those things again." She was sincere, her eyes slightly reddened.

She thought that Alec would respond to her sincere words. However, when she looked at him, she realized that Alec's gaze was never on her. But on Jenny the whole time. She wasn't even sure if Alec had heard her words.

This time, Faye really felt like crying, but Alec didn't give her the chance to do so.

"Are you done talking?" Alec asked her.

Faye was stunned but nodded her head.

"In that case, let me tell you clearly that I used to treat you as my little sister, but now I'm not interested in you, nor do I want to treat you as my sister. I think it's better for us to be strangers," Alec said, his tone frosty; he didn't care about Faye's feelings at all.

Faye was very hurt, and tears streamed down her face.

"Also, don't come looking for Jenny again in the future. If I find out you're at it again, I won't let you or the Wardleys off the hook,' Alec warned.

He didn't want Jenny to misunderstand him in the first place, but Faye kept challenging his boundaries. Did she take him for a pushover? Did she think he wouldn't rebuke her?

Now, Faye didn't even dare to cry.

Jenny paid no mind to what they were talking about and was busy minding her own business. However, she was still a little happy in her heart. It felt pretty good to be favored by someone.

Faye left—she could do nothing else but leave in this situation.

After she left, Alec finally hugged Jenny. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"There's nothing we can do about this. I chose a man with a lot of admirers. "

Jenny sighed, feeling helpless about the situation.

Alec was outstanding both in appearance and ability. He was no doubt one of the best. Naturally, many women were attracted to him. Even so, Jenny didn't feel worried at all. She didn't feel inferior; besides, if other women easily tempted Alec, he wouldn't be worth her affection.

Reaching out to lightly flick on Jenny's forehead, Alec grumbled, "You talk as if you didn't have any admirers. I wonder who was taken away by someone else before and almost couldn't return."

Jenny pursed her lips, thinking it would be better not to speak.

Alec looked at his watch and asked, "It's time to get off work. What do you want to eat tonight?"

"You decide. I'm fine with anything." Jenny thought it was a headache to think about what to eat every day.

"How about we go for some Clusian cuisine?" Alec didn't cook every day, partly because he was too lazy, and partly because even if he cooked delicious food, he would tire of eating his own cooking very quickly should he do it every day.

Jenny thought about it and nodded. "Sure."

Standing up as she spoke, Jenny took off her white coat. She changed into her own clothes and walked out of the hospital with Alec.

They thought Faye had already left, but they didn't expect her to still be at the entrance of the hospital.

"Alec, Dr. Walter, are you going out to eat? Let's go together." Faye smiled, having already calmed down.

Alec frowned and was about to get angry when Faye spoke up in time, "My brother will also come. Alec, haven't you always wanted to know what happened back then? My brother will tell you."

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1215-A Worthy Death At the restaurant, what was originally meant to be a date between two people turned into a meal for four instead. It was supposed to be a cheerful meal for a happy couple, but it became a somber and serious occasion.

Jenny looked across the table at Anthony, the person who had saved Alec's life according to what he had told her. He should have died many years ago.

He and Faye actually looked quite similar. They weren't particularly outstanding in appearance. With their thick eyebrows and big eyes, they had the kind of appearance that wouldn't stand out if they were in a crowd.

"Mr. Faust," Anthony said, his tone indifferent. He no longer had the humility typical of a bodyguard.

Alec chuckled and commented internally, "I guess things are different now."

He didn't really mind as he leaned back and said, "So, tell me. What exactly happened back then?’ "Even if I don't say anything, with your current ability, you should be able to find out quickly." Alec assumed that he was dead and hadn't thought of investigating previously. If he intended to personally look into the matter, it wouldn't be difficult for him to discover the truth.

Alec didn't say a word. While it was true that he could find it out by himself, he still wanted to hear it from Anthony's mouth. After all, he'd been racked with guilt about Anthony's death for many years.

Anthony took a sip of wine and slowly said, "Actually, there's nothing much to say. Back then, it was just a matter of circumstances. I couldn't save Faye, so I could only ask you to save her."

"So, you staged your own death and used that as a reason to entrust Faye to me, just so that I could cure her?" Alec asked.

Anthony nodded straightforwardly. At this point, there was no point hiding anything any longer. "Yes. At that time, given the circumstances, I had no other choice."

"Well said. 'No other choice,' huh? What a great excuse," Alec sneered.

His mocking laugh made Anthony's face fall slightly, but he kept his emotions in check. “Mr. Faust, do you know? I really envied you in the past.

I thought you were born into a good family and had everything you wanted. You weren't like me, a bottom feeder. Well, I didn't really mind living like that. Life was just tougher and more tiring, but at least I could still survive." Right after saying that, he took another sip of wine.

"But fate messed with me. Faye fell ill at this time. I didn't have enough money for her treatment, and our parents were even less likely to have the money. If I didn't find a way, I could only watch her die."

As he said that, Faye started crying. When she found out about everything, she had very complicated feelings. However, most of those feelings consisted of her gratitude toward her brother. Without his plan, she wouldn't have had a chance to survive, let alone spend so many years by Alec's side.

Alec was silent and unresponsive when faced with Anthony's confession and Faye's tears.

"At that time, I thought that if I could exchange my life for Faye's, I'd gladly do so. But then, was my life even worth anything?" Anthony asked rhetorically.

"Considering that, I had to choose a way to die that would make my life worth something. If I died to save you and entrusted Faye to you during my death, you would definitely find a way to save her. As it turns out, my guess was correct,"

he elaborated. He then looked up and finished his drink.

Alec also took a sip of his drink and felt his throat burning painfully. "Why didn't you just tell me back then? Maybe you didn't have to do this, and I would have saved her anyway."

"It's not the same thing. Even if you could lend me money, how much would you lend me? Can you lend me money for a lifetime?" Anthony sneered. Even if Alec were willing, he wouldn't want to live a life in debt.

He'd been feeling inferior because he was a subordinate, and if he had taken Alec's money, he would have even less of a chance of standing on equal footing with him.

But the money he received for dying to save Alec was different. It was a fair exchange, and no one would think that Faye did not deserve it.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1216-What Are You So Proud Of?

Alec looked at Anthony and remained silent for a long time. He'd never expected such an answer. Was it necessary to weave such a big lie just to keep Faye alive?

Moreover, how did Anthony know that he wouldn't be willing to pay for Faye's treatment? At that time, Anthony was his confidant, and as long as he spoke up, Alec wouldn't refuse.

While he was silent, Anthony continued speaking, "Actually, I have my own selfish motives for doing this. You always act so high and mighty, like you're a god from the heavens. But I thought even someone as extraordinary as you could be outsmarted. This at least proves that I'm not inferior to you-l'm just not as fortunate as you in my birth status."

Upon hearing this, Alec, who was feeling a little sorry, instantly regained his composure. He looked at Anthony coldly and said, "So, you think that now that you're in charge of the Wardleys, you're qualified to sit here and talk to me?"

Alec had been in Bardoff City for some time now, and if Anthony had wanted to show himself, he would've done so long ago. But he didn't do that until now. It was a testament to how patient Anthony was to be able to wait that long to appear before Alec.

"You're right. The Wardleys and the Fausts are both part of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City. I don't think I'm any worse than you." Since he took over the Wardley family, Anthony felt that he'd worked hard to elevate the family's status.

The Wardleys were thriving now, so he was definitely qualified to sit across from Alec.

Alec chuckled and didn’t hide his disdain. It made Anthony very unhappy." Alec, what are you so proud of? What do you have to bolster your arrogance?"

Alec didn't say anything. He just felt that talking to this person was a waste of time.

However, Jenny wouldn’t allow anyone to bully Alec. She countered in a cold voice, "Stop pretending. Even if you become the one in charge of the Wardleys, so what? Don’t you feel very insecure inside? You don't think you can match up to Alec. That's why you're acting so tough."

Insecurity wasn't something that could be changed overnight. Even if one's status changed, the underlying sense of inferiority wouldn't just disappear.

Anthony's expression changed almost instantly, as if he'd been poked in a sore spot. He pointed at Jenny and said, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? I've made it this far with my own abilities. Unlike you, who just got lucky. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't even be qualified to sit here today!"

"Why did she say I was acting tough? Why did she look at me with pity in her eyes?" Anthony raged internally.

Jenny smiled and said, "Your own abilities? Didn't Faye survive because of Alec's help? Didn't you come to where you are today because of your birthright?

If you hadn't been brought back to the Wardley family, you would still be washing dishes in some restaurant now, right?"

"You…"

"Don't make yourself sound so noble. You're also a beneficiary of your identity.

Don't act like you're so superior," Jenny interrupted him, her eyes full of contempt.

Anthony couldn't say anything for a while because he knew very well that what Jenny said was true. If the Wardleys hadn't taken him back, he would still have nothing today.

Seeing Anthony's reaction, Faye was a little worried and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Even if the Wardleys took us back in, you achieved your position today with your own abilities."

The Wardley family wasn't exactly peaceful. When Anthony first returned, no one paid much attention to him. He was able to become the head of the family because he was indeed capable.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1217-I'll Monitor Her Jenny glanced at Faye and said bluntly, "Whether or not I am talking nonsense is not important. What's important is what are you playing at? Your brother doesn't think highly of Alec, so why are you bugging him? I don't understand you and your brother's logic."

Faye's expression stiffened. In fact, Anthony didn't agree with her coming to find Alec.

"This is my business. It has nothing to do with my brother," Faye spoke up and gave Jenny a cold glare.

Jenny was unbothered as she sneered, "This has nothing to do with your brother? You've really taken your brother's efforts for granted. You should know that he spent so many years pretending to be dead for your sake. And now you treat him like this?"

"Jenny!"

"If I were your brother, I would regret saving you in the first place. If I knew things would come to this, I would've let you die," Jenny continued, ignoring how livid Faye looked.

Faye's face became all the more ashen. It was obvious that she was also afraid that Anthony would think this way. She looked a bit uneasy as she turned to Anthony, who was sitting next to her.

"Anthony…"

"That's none of your business, Miss Walter. Faye is my sister, so, of course, I have to save her. As for her liking Alec, that's her choice. Although I don't agree with it, I won't stop her," Anthony retorted.

He wasn't stupid. How could he not see that Jenny was deliberately trying to sow discord between him and Faye?

Jenny didn't care if he saw through her intentions and kindly reminded him, "I think you should still stop her. After all, stealing my man would make me very unhappy."

"Oh? Are you planning to take action, Miss Walter?" Anthony wasn't afraid of her. The Wardleys were not inferior to the Walters.

Jenny held her chin with one hand and replied thoughtfully, ’Indeed, the Wardley family is quite a big deal, and the Walter family alone wouldn't be able to do you any harm. However, you should know that I'm not alone. If I were to give the word, the Walters, Fausts, Windsors, and even the Watkins would make a move against the Wardleys. Are you sure you can handle all of us?"

Jenny stared straight at Anthony, and his visibly strained expression showed that he'd only considered making an enemy out of the Walters and Fausts. He thought he could team up with the other two families without any problem, and maybe even benefit from his retaliation.

When he heard Jenny's words, he was reminded that James Windsor had a good relationship with Jenny, and Jenny's sister was still with the Windsors.

As for the Watkins, rumor had it that they were also in chaos now. The eldest daughter of the Watkins suddenly began to fight for control over the family, and many believed that the Fausts were supporting her behind the scenes. Judging from Jenny's words, it seemed those rumors weren't unfounded.

With such a lineup, the Wardleys would be in a very weak position.

Originally, Anthony was confident he could persuade other families to join forces with him to deal with the Walters and Fausts. But once those four families joined forces, no one would be willing to get involved in this mess.

Seeing Anthony's face turn pale, Faye was a little worried. "Anthony."

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Walter. I'll monitor Faye and won't let her disturb you two." Anthony was well aware of the big picture. He wouldn't confront Jenny directly, at least not openly.

When Faye heard that, she became anxious. ’Anthony!"

"Listen to me, and don't argue." Anthony didn't care what she thought and sternly rebuked her, not letting her say anything more.

Faye was extremely aggrieved, but she didn't dare to speak again. Even though Anthony was still her brother, he now had another identity. He was the head of the Wardleys, and he couldn’t let her indulge in her whims anymore.

For a moment, Faye didn’t know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Hearing you say that, I feel more relieved, Mr. Wardley." Jenny nodded in satisfaction. She didn't expect Anthony to be so shrewd.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1218-Divorce? Dream On!

When Jenny was talking with Anthony, Alec didn't interrupt. To him, Jenny's thoughts were his thoughts, so he didn't need to repeat them.

After Anthony and Faye left, the dishes on the table were barely touched. Jenny smiled and looked at Alec. "Now, no one will disturb us while we eat. n "Yeah." Alec nodded; his gaze toward Jenny was extremely tender. "Jenny, I really liked the way you stood up for me just now."

Jenny smiled and put some food on Alec's plate. "You're my boyfriend now. Of course, I have to speak up for you."

"You're so overprotective of me when I'm just your boyfriend. When I become your husband, you'll wage wars for me, wont you?" Alec teased.

Jenny didn't answer the question and silently ate her food. She thought there was still a long way to go before she would become his wife.

"Do you think Anthony will really be able to control Faye?’ Jenny changed the topic, suddenly feeling curious about it.

Alec's face darkened a bit at her words. "He’d better be able to control her.

Otherwise, I don't mind teaching her a lesson."

"Oh? Are you willing to lay a hand on Faye?" Jenny didn't believe him.

The way she doubted him made Alec very unhappy. The next second, he hugged her and kissed her without hesitation. "Jenny, you're jealous, aren't you?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not jealous." She harrumphed lightly and pushed Alec away.

While the couple were eating, trouble was brewing at Walter Castle.

Eric put on the clothes of a bodyguard and walked into Walter Castle confidently. The residence had more bodyguards these days, so no one noticed his arrival. He didn't actually plan to take Lynette away that day, as he understood clearly that he probably wouldn't have a chance to do so with his current ability.

Nevertheless, that didn’t matter. Since he couldn't take her away, he would make sure she stayed there forever-even if it was in the form of a corpse.

Eric sneered to himself wordlessly, "Do you think you can divorce me, Lynette?

Dream on!"

He would make sure that even if Lynette died, she would die as his wife. He wouldn't allow her to have her happy ever after with Graham.

With that, Eric walked into the living room, finally attracting the attention of the people in Walter Castle.

"Who let you in? Get out!" The maid in the living room saw Eric and scolded him. After all, the bodyguards outside weren't allowed to enter that area.

However, Eric ignored her and pulled out his gun, pointing it right at the maid.

"Where's Lynette?"

The maid was scared out of her wits. She timidly pointed upstairs to a room.

Eric went straight upstairs and kicked open the door of the room. However, instead of Lynette, he was greeted by a row of guns neatly lined up.

Leonard and his men had been waiting there for several days, and they finally caught Eric. No matter what, Leonard wouldn't let him escape. As Eric was about to fire his gun, Leonard beat him to it and made his move first.

Eric was hit, but instead of feeling pain, he felt dizzy. He lost control of his limbs and fell to the ground. Before his eyes closed, he saw Lynette walk out of another room, shielded by Graham.

He clearly saw the expression on Lynette's face at the moment-there was not a trace of concern for him, no extra emotions, and only a subtle sense of relief.

"She must be glad that I'm finally caught, huh? That's right. She hates me so much, so she must be elated at my capture. She'll probably celebrate with Graham later…" Eric thought.

Before Eric completely passed out, he was still unwilling to admit defeat, but he no longer had the chance to do anything about it.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1219-Forget I Said Anything Lynette watched as Eric fell unconscious, feeling a flurry of emotions. "Is he…dead?" she asked apprehensively.

"No, he's just passed out from the tranquilizer gun we just used. Jenny says that someone like him needs to face the full consequences of his actions through the legal system. He shouldn't be granted a quick and easy death," Leonard replied before ordering Eric to be taken away.

Before leaving, Leonard turned back to Lynette and said, "You can rest assured that you won't see Eric again in your lifetime unless something unexpected happens.” Lynette was stunned, tears blurring her vision as she watched Leonard's figure draw further away. She was unable to utter even a single word.

Graham approached her and pulled her into his arms, comforting her with a soft voice, "Nettie, it's all over now. From now on, you can live the life you want."

"Is it really over?" Lynette asked, still somewhat dazed.

Eric, that arrogant Eric…Was he really caught for good and would never be able to torment her again?

Graham nodded firmly. "Yes, it's all over."

Looking slightly worried at her pale complexion, Graham added, "Nettie, don't think about it anymore. Go get some rest."

Lynette shook her head. "I'm not tired. Since it's all over, I want to go out and take a look."

"Okay, I'll accompany you," Graham agreed.

Lynette hadn't left Walter Castle for the past few days, mainly because Jenny was worried about her safety outside and had instructed them to stay home. Now that Eric had been captured and there was no longer any danger, they could go out at will.

When Jenny and Alec rushed back and learned that they'd already gone out, they were somewhat helpless.

"Well, at least it's better than constantly being stuck in the past," Jenny expressed. She'd rescued Lynette so that she could be free and not be sad and miserable for the rest of her life.

"Do you have confidence in dealing with Eric?" Alec asked, hoping to help Jenny in some way.

However, Jenny clearly didn't need any help. "Don't worry. I've already arranged everything. Eric will never appear before anyone again."

Even if they didn't bring up the incident where Eric brought armed men to storm Walter Castle, his previous crimes of having murdered many people were enough to have him executed countless times.

This time, he was utterly doomed.

"My dear Jenny, you're so capable. You make me feel like I'm somewhat useless." Sometimes, he wished that Jenny would rely on him more.

Jenny rolled her eyes at him and retorted, "If you like someone gentle and weak, Faye fits your requirements. You should go find her."

Alec was instantly rendered speechless.

"Forget I said anything." Alec covered his mouth to show that he would keep quiet and not speak carelessly again.

Seeing that, Jenny stopped teasing him. She’d always been tough and wouldn't change just because she was with Alec. Alec should have known this by now.

Graham and Lynette returned from a walk around the streets of Bardoff City and saw Jenny and Alec with smiles on their faces in the living room.

"Jenny, Eric has been caught," Graham said excitedly to her.

Jenny nodded. She'd rushed back because she heard about the good news earlier. "You can rest assured now. No one will stop you from being together anymore." "Thank you, Jenny." Lynette looked at Jenny. Although she was still very unfamiliar with this daughter of hers, at that moment, she was glad that she'd chosen to give birth to her.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1220-Perhaps You're Right While sitting in the car, Jenny looked out the window. Lynette's "thank you"

reverberated in her mind. For some reason, there seemed to be a boulder pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Alec was driving, but he could sense the gloomy air around Jenny.

"Jenny, are you thinking about Lynette?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm thinking that she wasn't really in the wrong back then. She hasn't exactly led a good life for the past few years, and she's suffered even more than me. But I still won't acknowledge her as my mother. Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

She'd been pondering this question since they left Walter Castle, but she still hadn't come up with an answer.

Alec slowed down the car and said, "You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. I believe that Lynette can understand your inner conflict. It's okay if you can't address her as your mom out loud right now. You'll have more time to spend together, and I believe that as long as Lynette treats you well enough, you'll willingly call her 'mom' one day.” Alec's words made sense to Jenny, but she still felt a sense of anguish in her heart. "I know what you mean. I just feel like she wasn't really in the wrong."

"That's true. She isn't in the wrong, but neither are you. So, you don't need to carry such a heavy burden. Just listen to your heart," Alec advised, not wanting Jenny to feel unhappy.

Jenny sighed and rubbed her temples. "Maybe you're right. I'm just thinking too much."

Perhaps after spending some time with Lynette, she would be ready to call her "mom" just like how she called Graham "dad." She just needed a bit more time to reach that point.

"Let's go to the street food park. Isn't that where you like to buy your snacks from?" Alec asked.

Jenny glanced at him and asked, "Don't you dislike those places?"

"I used to, but now I don't think there's anything wrong with them. I’d like to experience the hustle and bustle of the world once in a while," he replied. Most importantly, since Jenny liked to go there, he would naturally like it too.

"Sure, let's go. I'm actually craving some of the food there." She couldn't remember the last time she'd eaten street food.

Alec turned the car around and drove toward the street food park. As the weather gradually warmed up, more and more people went out shopping. At this hour, the park was packed with people and was bustling with activity.

Jenny soon forgot her troubles, and under Alec's protection, she walked into the crowd, heading toward her favorite snack stall. She felt alive again when she felt the crowd pushing against her.

Soon, Jenny bought some hot dogs that were very savory and satisfying." Do you want to try some?" she asked.

"Sure." Alec nodded, and Jenny immediately fed him a bit of the hot dog.

At the moment, Alec was dressed in a black suit, and Jenny was also dressed immaculately. They stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention.

Someone secretly took a photo and posted it online with the caption: "This is probably what they call a perfect match!"

At first, not many people paid attention to the photo, as there were so many other things worth paying attention to on the Internet. The Internet had no shortage of beautiful women and handsome men. But as someone revealed the identities of the two, the photo instantly gained more traction.

As Jenny and Alec were still strolling leisurely in the street food park, their photo became viral on the Internet. Although they weren't celebrities, their popularity rivaled even the hottest celebrities in the country.

However, Jenny and Alec were unaware of all this. They strolled until late at night, eating and drinking their fill, and only left the street food park after they were satiated.

Alec's phone rang just as they stepped into the villa-it was a call from Vincent.

Alec was surprised but still answered the phone without hesitation and asked, "What's up?
